Looks absolutely fantastic since the refurbishment. Loved the breakfast and awesome for a family as plenty of room
Not bad for a buffet but could’ve had more seafood variety especially since it was $80 a person. I thought the liquid nitrogen desert and chocolate waterfall was unique and different. All the other food was mainly delicious- some were dry and average after being sitting out for so long.
Dined with a group of 7 on a Saturday night. The buffet costs $64.50pp however the price gets cheaper depending on your level of membership with the casino. We were greeted by a very abrupt and unfriendly staff member who made us feel unwelcome. They were very busy at the time and it seemed as though tables were at a premium however this part of the experience was the only reason I could not give a 5 Star review. We were split into 2 tables which was not an issue for us and from that point on our expectations were all exceeded. Buffett included fresh oysters, prawns, crabs and moreton bay bugs plus a huge variety of roast meat and various Asian/western dishes. Dessert bar had a lot of variety and free soft drinks included. The wait staff were very attentive considering how busy the venue was. Overall great value for money.
Came for the seafood buffet and absolutely loved it! Everything was constantly getting filled up, so nothing was ever low and we were never waiting on anything!
SEAFOOD GALORE!!!
However, the other foods, like the roast and the vegetables weren’t as hot but they still had flavour and was still quite nice
This is one of my favourite buffet places! The quality of the food and variety is great value for money in comparison to other places. The buffet consisted of seafood (prawns, oysters, crab, bugs, mussels) which was fresh, hot food was good and desserts also a highlight. The service was also outstanding. I would like to mention particularly the manager Katie who went above and beyond and even organised a complimentary birthday cake for my mum. Will definitely be back! Here are some of the photos of the buffet, there were far too many dishes to get photos of them all

Took my two children (10 & 7yo) here last night and we weren’t disappointed. At $34.95 for adults and $24.95 each for the children it makes it an expensive dinner option for families. After some searching online though I found a 20% if the total bill discount voucher which made me feel a little better about handing over so much money. These vouchers can also appears in the tourist mags you see in hotels at the Gold Coast so keep an eye out. We chose to go on a Thursday night as Fri - Sun just would’ve been too expensive for us. It does become a seafood buffet those nights but I just couldn’t justify the jump in price to $65 for adults and $32 I think it was for children. I couldn’t complain about the food we had. There was a large variety and it was constantly being attended to by the staff. The dessert bar was great and the price includes soft drinks and a self serve coffee/Tea/hot chocolate machine. Despite Thursday night not being a seafood buffet night, there were plenty of enormous prawns on offer that were delicious. There were plenty of staff whisking away dirty plates and buzzing around but they didn’t get in the way and seemed pleasant. My only complaint if I could make one is that there are no toilets in this large restaurant which I find really odd. So if you have young children, you all have to leave the restaurant and walk right out into the casino foyer past other restaurants to get to the toilet and back again. About a 10min round trip. Crazy! Otherwise I have no complaints.
Best value seafood buffet on the GC as far as I am concerned. Giant prawns and tonnes of them with flavour, not waterlogged. Lots of variety of other foods, Great value and lots of entertainment around afterwards. Bring your stretchy pants!! Parking has been pretty bad lately.
My mum and I were off to see a show in he Casino and thought we'd tried our luck at the buffet for lunch prior. With a dodgy name like Food Fantasy I wasn't expecting much but I was actually pleasantly surprised. $34.90 pp (seriously why don't they just charge $35??) got you a decent amount of variety and relative quality. The dessert was quite impressive too
Great selection of hot and cold foods. It's a little expensive so watch out for deals and coupons. The dessert bar makes it worth the visit!
Definitely one of the best buffet I have had. Seafood buffet on Saturday was fresh, plenty of choices and cooked very well. Definitely worth the wait in the line
The best buffet i have been to for both dinner and breakfast. Has the fundamentals down and meals mix together. Reasonably priced for the quality of meals you are getting. The food is fresh and well cooked. Self serve drinks and coffee are all in the buffet so no nasty surprises. If you're in Broadbeach and want to take the family to something different i suggest this.
It was the last lunch before we left Gold Coast. I chose this buffet as we were gonna chill out in the last day so we are not in a rush. I have to say this is a good choice. We have the casino membership card to get 20% discount so that only only $28 each person. There was a variety of food and my favourites are smoked salmon, mushroom pasta, ham, roasted potato and stew drumsticks. If you live in the casino, it's definitely worth a try.
We ate on a Friday night. One of the busiest nights, the Service was exceptional. Before we could look up to see if someone could come and clear out plates, they had cleaned our tables. Extremely professional, friendly and welcoming staff. The food was mind blowing. The buffet was being restocked constantly so we never had to wait for that perfectly cooked Morten Bay Bugs and wonderful Crabs. Truly by far the best seafood buffet on the Gold Coast. Something for everyone. Well done. Will definitely eat there again.

We've actually been to Food Fantasy on a previous trip, and remembered it to be a fantastic place to eat. The last trip was a Saturday and they tended to have more food available, this particular trip was on a Monday night.
The benefit of which is - the meal is slightly cheaper at close to $50 per person, there is much less of a wait to get in and there are fewer people inside, making the place easy to navigate.
This is buffet paradise for seafood lovers, but you're more likely to get the kinda seafood you love when they do their seafood specials on the weekends. During the week however you still get a reasonable selection of seafood choices.
Inside is borderline claustrophobic if you happen to catch it on an even semi-busy night. The constant battle of dodging people with platters of food piled high, children with ice creams and serving staff with empty plates would make most health and safety managers nervous.
Despite the fact that the place is popular with children, most likely because of the buffet dessert section and unlimited soft drink - there isn't actually a huge amount of food geared towards kids. They can have some of the meat and ham and possibly pasta, but dishes like mussels, squid and curry may not go down so well with children. They do have a kids section which offers an incredibly adventurous fish and chips, and is adventurous only because the chips are cold and dry and the fish looks like it was probably born on land before it was packaged as crunch cold fish.
Like all buffets, if you catch the food whilst it is still fresh it can be fantastic. Generally most of the food is fresh and regularly topped up. It would be far too difficult to give you a run down on what foods are good, as they may change. What I did try, I generally enjoyed.
The dessert buffet is every child (and sweet toothed adult's) dream selection, from soft serve ice cream available in different flavours which you can top with jelly beans or smarties, to the rounded selection of profiteroles, pavlova, cheesecake, mud cake, jelly, creme brulee, fruit salad ... and that's just what I can remember off the top of my head.
Price wise this is pretty good, when you consider you can have a 3 course meal plus endless tea, coffee, water, juice and soft drinks, $50 actually seems like an absolute bargain and it is.
Don't be intimidated by the Casino foyeur as you enter the building, it looks very flash, but there are a number of eateries inside catering to all manner of people.
Food Fantasy would be on my to do list if you only have kids and are prepared to spoil them just once!
Food fantasy is well known by locals as a go to place for quality buffet food. They usually have a wide selection of food to choose from but the highlights for me would have to be their seafood, lamb shanks, chowders, fancy baked savoury dishes and of course, desserts! The food was so outstanding that I actually ate continuously for 4 hours (except for a 10 minute break) before moving on to the desserts! A must visit if you're on the Coast!
Best all you csn eat on the gold coast. A must to check out. I suggest you dont eat all day so you csn fit all the food they offer you in one simple place :)
A great place for seafood lover with a variety of choices. Prawns. Morton's bay bugs. Spanner crabs. Crabs. Oysters. You name it. Can't go wrong with this place.
The all you can eat is amazing! So many options and the fresh sea food is to die for. You'll definitely eat more then you should and you wont even feel guilty because it's just that good.
good place for hungry people. Only few options were served. Thumbs up for their desserts and fresh prawns. Staffs are really nice and polite.
We have dined at Food Fantasy many times & have always left the restaurant full & pleased with the service & the food. Their Seafood nights are incredible, just make sure you arrive at opening time as it can get very busy on a Saturday night. All of the food is fresh & cooked to perfection. The dessert buffet is by far the best I have ever seen. Even though I am not a seafood lover, my husband is & I was still able to find many non-seafood options available. The staff there are always pleasant & friendly no matter what time of day it is. Definitely the best buffet value for money I have ever been to, soft drinks & tea & coffee are free!! We will return there again & again. I would recommend Food Fantasy to anyone!! Great place!!

Best buffet hands down. I have tried a lot of restaurants including buffet options, so for the record I have dined at buffets including Hilton, Ibis, Stamford, Outrigger, Sea world resort, Movie world buffet, Dreamworld buffet and of course Sizzler and Pizza Hut. I have to say Food Fantasy at Juipters Casino is the best. I have been many, many times over the years for breakfast and for dinner while holidaying on the Gold Coast.
Despite what some reviewers may say the quality of the seafood is excellent, to clarify the prawns are NOT vannamei, they are large and juicy with lots of flavour, oysters are large, fish very fresh. Hot dishes, quality and range are excellent no complaints at all, lots of options even for picky eaters, kids and vegetarians. In particular I enjoyed the stir fried vegetables, tempura fish, curry and rice, and roast veggies. Very fresh salads on the cold side of the Buffett including greens, pasta and potato salad, cheeses, meats and sauces. Lots of chopped and shredded vegetables and salads, toppings, dressings and croutons so you can design your own also. Deserts.... there are just too many to taste them all, hot deserts are beautiful, massive variety including black forrest, slices, cheese cakes, jelly, mouse, fruits, brownies, tarts, pav, self service parlour style ice cream and toppings you serve from the freezer cabinet (not soft serve), which is a nice change. Drinks are as expected post mix soft drinks, tea and coffee. Atmosphere is casual, staff friendly, comfortable seating arrangements, high chairs available with no problems, it does get busy so get in either early or late. In response to the reviewers that have stated that McDonald's was better or the food was cold/dry/tasteless I think they must have been on crack or they work for a competitor as I have never experienced this on any occasion. If your unsure about going I highly recommend it. I have paid a lot more for less else where.
Las Vegas style buffet. Great place! Plenty of seating inside so don't let the queue fool you. The prawns and crab legs were so fresh. Lots of dishes hot and cold plus all-you-can desserts and drinks..
Its just like a little bit of Vegas on the GC!
While it is definitely not a five star restaurant, we had a great meal there.
A step up from Sizzler and worth the $45. There was a decent range of food from salads to lamb shanks as well as desserts. We will definitely be back when we visit Gold Coast again.
I have never been wowed by any of food I have had at Jupiters. I have been to the buffet a couple I times as I receive restaurant vouchers but I would never pay for it as it does not seem worth it. However the shrimp is usually a favourite which should say a lot as throwing shrimp on ice doesn't really qualify as flourishing culinary abilities!
Good Seafood. Price-6, Service-7, Food-7, Atmosphere-8
Seafood was good. Hot food average. Deserts were not very good
This place is pretty average, I guess it's a casino after all. It's one of those places you go once, maybe twice, but there is no enticement to go back after that.

Overall, a wonderful night here with the family. Went on a Thursday night and it was filled with young families, a birthday function, tourists (including us), and locals. I thought "hey this has to be better than sizzler which is just down the road" We went on a Thursday night which doesn't include the full seafood buffet which is only available on Friday and Saturday. It cost is 45 bucks a head and kids aged 5-12 eat for half the price . I found it pricey at first however when you look at their huge variety of cuisines, I found myself coming back to try bits of everything. There's your usual roast station, fruit and salad bar and a few Asian dishes With the added cheese platter and HUGE variety of desserts. The only seafood available for the night was prawns, but they tasted so Moreish! Sweet, fresh and not over cooked- definitely my money's worth right there! So after a few savory dishes of pretty much everything , I finally got to the dessert. And oh my goodness was there a lot . Just to name a few there aas baked cheesecake, pavlova, milk an dark choc mousse , profiteroles, choc rum cake, vanilla slice, sticky date ... ... Which complimented well with the icecream and Madura tea. The service was excellent. the young staff were constantly checking for empty plates to make sure the table was all ready for the next round of food. Overall , great place for families as kids get all the dessert they have ever dreamed of , and unlimited soft drinks for them to go nuts!!
Food and service is fantastic! I had the buffet service and the seafood was fresh and a big variety of desserts. The atmosphere did feel quite rushed but the food trays get turned over before they are empty so was unsure why there was a stampede t the buffet area.
Excellent food and service. My family been here on last count 5-6 times for the seafood buffet. We only ever been on satursay night and each time we're there the food was always fresh and the service was top notch. Get there early if you want to get in as they can be quite full.
Family favourite. This is a family favourite. The seafood buffet is the best. It's a great family-orientated restaurant so great for the kids. Our son isn't a seafood fan but there's always a good selection of meat/chicken dishes he can choose from. The only downside (apart from the over indulging) would be the waiting time but once you're in there it's all worth it.
Best breaky buffet. Fresh and tasty
Highly Recommended. Definately the best buffet around! we went there for easter lunch (only $30 adults $15 kids) and it was amazing. The desserts were incredible, and all the food was really tasty. There was nothing we didnt like. This buffet was better than the one we went to at the jupiters for xmas which cost around $500-600 a family!
Best buffet. For $50 at dinner, I thought this was decently priced considering the quality and range of food. I have never been to a buffet that has excelled in all areas, seafood, roast,assortment of other dishes and the desserts.
I don't recall how many plates of the sweet prawns we ate. The prawns were delicious. The moreton bay bugs were mostly nice however the mussels were a little disappointing.
The roast meats, were tasty, I only tried the ham, but I was informed by my companions that the beef was lovely and tender.
The desserts were very impressive. Every dessert we tried was fantastic. The desserts themselves could be sold in their own dessert store. The chocolate pudding, pavlova, vanilla slice and assorted little cakes were delicious.
This buffet is worth the money.
This would have to be one of the best buffet's around.
Awesome buffet dinner!. We frequently visit Food Fantasy rather than Sizzler.
Quality of the food is second-to-none, the chef's are hard at it all the time to ensure that all the food is as fresh as it can get and when you go for the seafood buffet - well what a treat that is!
The dessert bar is awesome - I love their desserts.

Pricey but good. We went on a Friday night and the buffet cost $50 because it included seafood, which I don't even eat! I wish there was some option for dining without the seafood to keep the price down.
Everything at the buffet was actually really good though (it wasn't dried out or like it had been sitting there for long) and even though there is obviously quantity with each dish, it didn't feel like it was quantity over quality. Everything I had was really yummy and they cleverly have options that you can almost "plate up" like a restaurant meal (ie. grilled chicken breasts in sauce, steaks in sauce etc).
I am a desserts girl so I loooooooved this buffet. They had sooo many options and all of them were really delicious. The vanilla slice (millefuelle) is one of my favourites and was bakery quality! Chocolate mousse was good, profitteroles, mini pavlovas, warm chocolate pudding and chocolate tart - all delicous.
There is plenty of seating and the staff were all friendly. Plenty of drink options too. The best buffet i've been too, even though it was really pricey.
Wounderfull all you can eat meals, however go during lunch time only DINNER IS TO COSTLY for what you get. Over all good place to have lunch.
I really hate buffets. I hate Sizzlers. The idea of 'all you can eat' scares me. I mentally associate normal buffets with poor quality and lack of freshness. There's a novelty appeal but appeal only takes you so far. Sometimes, when I've accomplished a mi
I love Harvest Buffet. Went in for dinner one night, looking for somewhere different to eat on the Gold Coast and fell in love!
There is just so much on offer and it is all so tasty. The dessert selection was my favour (sweet tooth) and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend.
Had a great experience dining here. I have a seafood allergy and the chef made sure that I know what’s the dish I’m not allowed and she’s so nice that she made a bowl of fried rice for me with pork on it. Enjoyed the desserts, it’s sooo good!
Overall experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Breakfast was amazing!
We got there when they opened at 6.30am and the staff could not be more helpful.
One staff member, Samantha, was really attentive and explained what we could have and what we could ask for (Which was pretty much anything).
I asked for poached eggs and they were cooked to perfection. The hash browns, mushrooms, bacon and condiments were plentiful and delicious.
You could go back as often as you liked and the pastries and fruit were fresh. There was a flowing chocolate faucet, which kids and adults enjoyed with marshmallows.
I was happy to see the tables were cleaned regularly and our plates taken from our table when we were finished with a course.
The only recommendation I would make would be to have a few more hands free sanitiser stations around, but that's only because of the current health situation.
Otherwise it was perfect and we couldn't be more satisfied!
Left extremely full and satisfied. It’s good how they have various cuisines in sections to choose from. The Mexican beef with sour cream, guacamole and cheese sauce was so good. Plenty of mouthwatering desserts to inhale.
Your typical buffet here in The Star Casino and hotel. It’s quite good and lots of tables. The hot breakfast items were really well done and tasty. I’m not sure on the price because it was included with my room at the Dorsett hotel. Good coffee as well. 😎👍
Ive had really nice dinner at Harvest buffet at The Star Casino with friend of mine. Food was delicious and freshly cooked. Had such a good enjoyable time. Would recommend everyone to try this new place.
Dined her 3 times in one week. Amazing variety of cuisine...something for everyone. Thoroughly enjoyed the pizza, pasta and dessert sections specially the chocolate mud cake an creme Brule.
Amazing customer service & options & cleanliness!
Love the head chef especially who knew I couldn't have any of the pastries or egg so made me these special chocolate strawberries at breakfast and special garlic bread at night!
They really look after their guests and make you feel like you're not missing out on anything when you have dietary requirements 💞
From the moment I walked in, the head chef came out to take me on a tour to see what I could have and offered alternatives to food I couldn't have which was also amazing and definitely not what I was expecting!
The cleanliness level is very high and everyone is wearing a proper face mask and ensuring they wipe down everything and swap out the food constantly so it's fresh
